Hans Gower

Hans Gower (1892-1940) was a German Wehrmacht general during World War II. In 1940, he took part in the occupation of Paris, and he showed brutality towards captured French Resistance fighter Le Crochet, cutting his hand off and feeding it to the dogs. After Le Crochet was freed from the prison camp at Le Marais by Sean Devlin, Crochet sent Devlin to kill Gower. Devlin walked up to Gower and told him that Crochet sent his regards, and he proceeded to shoot him dead. His death avenged Crochet's mutilation, and it weakened the Nazi occupation of Paris.
